bride between those ''pretty little maids
from school," Misses Cecile Nugent and
Annie Hemingway. The lady and gentle
men attendants ascended the chancel plat
outside the rail, the gentlemen stand
| ing behind the ladies. From out the
| robing room, came the groom, ac-
companied by Mr.. John n. Bush,
of Vieksburg, and met the bride as
she approached the chancel Here the Rec
tor, Rev. VIM. Short, using a white satin
prayer-book which the bride had brought
with her, proceeded with the solemnization
of matrimony till the Rev. Dr. Geo C. Har-
ris, from within the chancel rail, said in
impressive tones, "Who giveth this woman
to be married to this MANI" At this
point Mr.. r. l.. Saunders, brother-in-law
OF the bride, taking the joined hands of the
contracting parties in his left hand, walked
between them to the rail, in front of the
altar, where the ceremony was concluded
by DIR. Harris. A more impressive and
beautiful living tabIeau was never wit
messed.
The toilet OF the bride was elegant and
tasteful-in harmony with the queenly
grace of the wesrer. 1t was of ivory faille
Franchise silk, en- train, with silk panel
front embroidered in pearls, the left side of
the corsage being ornamented with
wreath of snowy blossoms. She did not
wear gloves, nor jewelry except diamond
pins to hold her veil.
The dresses of the lady attendants were
of surah. Miss CampbelFs was delicate
shade of green Miss Richardson's and
Miss Mitchell's were heliotrope Miss
Johnston's and Miss Dunlap's pale rose
Miss Thompson's and Miss William sons,
canary, and Misses Cecile Nugent's and
Annie Hemingway's, crimson. Little
Matte Saunders wore white satin aud
lace.
The gentlemen wore the conventional
full dress suits
The reception at the residence of Mrs.
Robinson was in keeping with what had
u L.
were present the delightful entertainments
for which this hospitable mansion is
famous. A brilliant company here assem-
bled to offer congratul ations.
The table was covered with white da-
mask, the center being overlaid with a
crimson plush scarf, trimmed with gold
cord, and was covered with rare and au-
tiful flowers and table pieces. With its
fairy lamps and colored lights it see ed
the work of enchantment. The same N Agic
touch that had produced these aesthetic
and beautiful effects had provided the
usual tempting adjuncts.
The presents were numerous, appropri-
ate and valuable, most of them being use
full articles of solid silver, though of these
many were delicately and beautifully
wrought. In several noticeable instances
the donors gratified their artistic tastes. A
pair of bronze vases, the gift of a friend in
one OF the Territories, was very much ad
mired, as was the "only family jar" which
the newly married couple are expected to
have.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
the late Jno. w. Robinson, one of the best
beloved and most honored citizens Jackson
ever had, who, during his lifetime, was
noted for his great public spirit and gener-
osity. On her mothers side she is closely
connected with Gov. Patton, of Alabama,
whose family is distinguished in the his
tory of that State. The writer has known
her during all the years of her childhood
has seen her ripen into womanhood-
charming woman that she is-and now
hopes for her the happiness which her love
illness ought to win for her.
The groom is young lawyer whose sue
cess at the bar has been most gratifying.
He is in full practice, with bright future.
He is prominent in political circles
member of the present House, and the
nominee, without opposition, for the next
Senate. He is justly very popular, and,
possessing more than the usual share of
good qualities of mind and heart, possesses,
also, manly form and handsome face.
